I found a new tourist attraction in Gold Coast. That is Hinze Dam. According to the information from Wikipedia , the site opened on 19th December, 2011. Therefore, that is only a few days before our visit on 26th December.  We could enjoy the brand new facilities.

Those are not just new. They are quite complete. There is a big visitor center. The visitor center exhibition hall which tell you about the history of Hinze Dam, function rooms and public toilets.  The center has a lot of indoor public space too! You can have a picnic in there.

Moreover, there is a large parklane.  You can have a walk, that is very comfortable. In addition, there are two outlook points in the park. You can enjoy the great view of the Dam.

Besides of the “quiet” features, there are some more active! There are a bike track on the top of Dam.

That is a great place to spend an afternoon with your family.

The way to go there : Driving on Nerang Murwillumbah Road , and turning to  Advancetown road. The vistor center is at the end of Advancetown road.

Springbrook is famous of water falls. There are many good spots to visit as well, such as Best of All Lookout . That is near Gondwana Rainforests.  It has the view of South Gold Coast, even as far as Northern NSW.  This is a great view. Unfortunately, when we went to there, there was a heavy rain. We could not see much. But there are a lot of clouds, that like walking in the sky!

This lookout is not far from the water falls, that is only about 5 minutes driving. If you go to see the waterfalls, you can go to there as well!
